Ten minutes later, Shen Qiu spent 6,000 Alliance Coins, changed into a set of casual clothes, and bought the latest model of mobile phone from Caimi.
Shen Qiu turned on his phone, and a notification popped up directly on it.
"Please insert your service card."
Shen Qiu pressed the prompt, opened the offline map on his phone, and searched for the location of the nearest telecommunications business hall.
When he saw that the location was at least 5 kilometers away, he couldn't help but frown.
Ding~
Suddenly, a crisp reminder sound rang from the phone, and a charging screen popped up.
Shen Qiu looked at this scene and stood there in a daze.
"What's going on?"
He was also full of suspicion. How could a newly bought phone have a bug so soon
Shen Qiu carefully examined the Caimi phone in his hand, and suddenly he felt something was wrong with his whole body, as if there was something extra in his mind.
He subconsciously concentrated his mind to feel the unknown.
Zizi~
Arcs of electricity suddenly flashed on Shen Qiu's hands.
Bang!
The entire phone was instantly pierced and the internal lithium battery started burning.
"ah!"
Shen Qiu let go immediately.
The burning cell phone fell directly to the ground, and Shen Qiu immediately raised his foot and stepped hard on it.
Some pedestrians passing by stopped and looked at this scene, talking in low voices.
"What brand of phone is this? It caught fire on its own."
“This phone looks new.”
"It looks like a new phone. This phone is in trouble."
…
Shen Qiu felt more and more embarrassed as he listened to the discussions of passers-by around him. He could only step on the fire a few more times to put it out.
Fortunately, it didn't take long before he successfully put out the burning phone.
Shen Qiu quickly picked up the remains of the phone and threw them into the trash can nearby, then lowered his head and left quickly.
When the passers-by on the road saw Shen Qiu leaving, they dispersed one after another.
As Shen Qiu walked, he looked at his hands, his expression constantly changing.
Although he was shocked, he had guessed something. If nothing unexpected happened, his body should have changed and he became a so-called awakener.
Judging from the situation of the mobile phone charging and catching fire just now, the ability he gained is likely related to electricity.
Shen Qiu didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Just at this moment, a rumbling sound was heard.
There was a sudden commotion on the street. Shen Qiu turned his head and saw heavy tanks and transport vehicles full of soldiers emerging from the street in the distance.
Pedestrians on the road stopped and watched this scene.
"What happened? Why are there so many troops coming in?"
"I'm not sure. I heard that many places in Clear Sky City were attacked the night before yesterday, and many people died."
"Oh, this life is unbearable."
“I don’t know when it will stop.”
…
Shen Qiu looked at the troops passing by, feeling increasingly uneasy and that the situation was getting increasingly out of control.
He couldn't just sit here and wait for death; he had to respond.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiu immediately walked towards the nearby business office.
An hour later, Shen Qiu walked out of the business hall. He applied for a new card and also spent 2,000 Alliance coins to buy an ordinary mobile phone to make do with.
Of course it’s not that Shen Qiu didn’t want to buy better ones, but he was mainly worried that they would be burned again after a short period of use.
As for the burning mobile phone, Shen Qiu did not return to ask for compensation. He knew very well that the fire was caused by himself, and he did not have the habit of blackmailing others.
He carefully took out his phone and lightly touched the screen to see if it would catch fire again.
After repeated experiments, Shen Qiu found that as long as he remained calm and did not have too many emotional fluctuations, there would be no problems.
So Shen Qiu inserted the card, opened the dial-up interface, manually entered the profiteer's phone number and dialed.
In fact, Shen Qiu only remembered the phone number of the unscrupulous businessman, and basically remembered no one else.
The reason why he remembered the profiteer's phone number was, on the one hand, because he had called him many times, and on the other hand, because Shen Qiu had put this guy on the blacklist many times.
Beep~
"Shen Qiu?"
After the call was connected, cautious inquiries were heard from the unscrupulous businessman.
It seems that the previous investigation by the KPI department has made him cautious.
"It's me, no one else."
Shen Qiu spoke.
"Oh~ You are such a busy man, how come you have time to call me?"
The profiteer replied with a smile.
"Bring cash and we'll meet."
Shen Qiu spoke to the profiteer in a straightforward manner.
When the profiteer heard Shen Qiu's words, his tone became excited and he replied immediately.
"Okay, let's go to your house?"
"No, meet at the Black Card Cafe next to our community in three hours. I'll book a private room."
"Wait, I'll be there soon."
"Um."
Shen Qiu immediately hung up the phone and walked towards the nearby taxi stand.
…
Three hours later, Shen Qiu walked into the community with his hands in his pockets as if nothing had happened.
The whole community is very quiet, and there are basically not many residents wandering around.
Occasionally, a few residents were seen, and they were also walking past in a hurry.
Shen Qiu quickened his pace and walked towards Building 4.
In a few minutes, he returned to his home and saw a black plastic bag hanging on the closed door.
Shen Qiu took it down curiously, opened it and took a look.
Inside the plastic bag were some sausages, dried noodles and other things, as well as a note.
Shen Qiu picked up the note and took a look at it.
"Shen Qiu, these are some extra food we bought during our shopping trip. Since you're not here, I've hung them on the door for you. Remember to take them in when you see them. It's not very safe outside recently, so try to go out as little as possible..."
Looking at the delicate handwriting on it, Shen Qiu recognized it at a glance. It was left by Sister Wang next door.
He picked up his things, opened the door and went in.
Shen Qiu glanced at the furnishings in the room, and after confirming that no one had moved anything, he poured the bag in his hand onto the table.
He took the black bag into the room, took out all the jewellery, stuffed it into the bag and stuffed it into his pocket.
After doing all this, Shen Qiu went to his storage room, found a black windbreaker and put it on, then put on black leather gloves on his hands.
He is unable to control the abnormalities of his body well now, so wearing insulating leather gloves is good for himself and others.
After doing all this, Shen Qiu left.
A moment later, Shen Qiu pushed open the door of the Black Card Cafe. The entire cafe was very deserted. Apart from a few waiters, there was no customer to be seen.
"Hello, sir."
A waitress saw Shen Qiu and hurried over to him, looking a little excited. After all, this was the first customer of the day.
"Find me a quiet room."
Shen Qiu said to the waiter.
"No problem sir, please follow me."
The waitress immediately led Shen Qiu to the bakery area.
Finally, Shen Qiu chose a private room closest to the inside. He ordered two cups of hot coffee and some snacks, and waited quietly for the profiteer to arrive.
After waiting for a few minutes, I heard hurried footsteps outside, and then the door of the private room was pushed open.
Huang Lang walked in excitedly.
"I am coming."
"It came quickly enough."
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"Haha, of course. If someone calls me, I will definitely be slow. But you are different!"
Huang Lang came up and started praising Shen Qiu again.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Look at these things and see how much they are worth."
Shen Qiu took out a black plastic bag and pushed it to Huang Lang.
Huang Lang's eyes lit up and he quickly opened the black plastic bag, but the smile on his face suddenly froze.
"Jewelry?"
"Hmm, is there a problem? These are all brought back from there, and they are all top quality."
Shen Qiu stared at Huang Lang and said in a deep voice.
Huang Lang took out a jewel necklace and two jewel rings from the bag and kept playing with them, looking a little conflicted.
"What? Is there something wrong with the stuff? These were all taken out of the bank safe."
"No problem. These gems are quite special. The materials are all new to me. But... never mind. I'll take them."
"How much can you give?"
Shen Qiu looked at Huang Lang and asked.
"One price, 140,000 Alliance Coins per package."
Huang Lang said after a moment of hesitation.
"What? So little?"
Shen Qiu also frowned immediately.
"It's a lot. You know how turbulent the situation is right now. The luxury goods market is collapsing. Who wants these things? The price I'm offering you is already very high. Besides, no one has ever seen these jewels. Others may not approve of them. I'm telling you, you shouldn't have brought these things back. They are worthless. Even if you just bring back a book or a document from those worlds, they are thousands of blocks away from these jewels."
Huang Lang said with great regret.
When Shen Qiu heard Huang Lang's words, his expression changed slightly.
Huang Lang was very sensitive to the subtle changes in Shen Qiu's expression. His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly came over and asked.
"Shen Qiu, you didn't really bring back any information or books, did you?"
"No."
Shen Qiu denied it directly.
"Don't lie to me. Others may not know you, but I know you. Let me tell you, those books are worth gold now."
Huang Lang said with shining eyes.
